Issues with Water During Flushing
During this flushing event, sedimentation in the main lines may be stirred up causing the water in the service line to the home faucets to have a discoloration (a reddish tint) and / or air (cloudy appearance) as well as taste and odor issues.
These issues can generally be cured by running water from the faucets for several minutes, or until the water runs clear. To prevent the possibility of staining articles of clothing during a wash cycle, it is also recommended that a load of wash water be passed through the washing machine prior to placing any laundry into the machine.
